“淡”与“抒情自我”——抒情传统视域下“淡”范畴的重新审视

“Blandness”and“Lyrical Self”:Re-examining the Category of“Blandness”from the Perspective of Lyrical Tradition

本文从抒情传统的视域讨论“淡”与“抒情自我”,源自对抒情“主体性”的发现与思考。文章基于中国文化“言志”与“抒情”的统一,从抒情传统的理论体系、庄学的发展脉络透视“淡”与“抒情自我”的关系。先由主体性、境界、物我关系三个层面,探索“淡”成为集体价值、理想、心境的过程及其在文艺中的实现方式。再从批评史的脉络勾勒“淡”在音乐、诗歌、书法和绘画理论中的发展历程,重新思考“淡”的风格论意义及其在中国抒情传统中的位置与价值。

This paper examines the concepts of“blandness(dan)”and“lyrical self”within the context of the Chinese lyrical tradition,which stems from the discovery and contemplation upon the“subjectivity”inherent in lyricism.Drawing upon the unity of aspiration-expression(yanzhi)and emotion-release(shuqing)in Chinese culture,the paper analyzes the relationship between blandness and the lyrical self through the lenses of lyrical tradition and Zhuangzi studies.By engaging with the three aspects of“subjectivity,”“inscape”and“object-self relationship,”the paper explores the how blandness evolves into a collective value,ideal,and inscape,as well as its manifestation in literature and the arts.Furthermore,the paper examines the development of blandness in the theories of music,poetry,calligraphy,and painting,offering a reevaluation of its stylistic significance and its status and value within the Chinese lyrical tradition.
